It became a run-away super-hit song in 1957, and still has cultural relevance to this day. [2] [1] [3]
Many of his films, such as the banned Inqalab-e-Kashmir, addressed social and national Pakistani issues. [2] Ziddi (1973 film), Sharif Badmash (1975 film), Chitra Tay Shera (1976 film) were some of Naeem Hashmi's most successful films during his career. [2] [3]
